COVID-19 Local Case Numbers as of Friday, May 27, 2022

The numbers reported in this article are still being verified as the reporting agencies strive to confirm cause of death, remove duplicates, verify residence, and catch up to a huge backlog from January's surge.

Public Health also advises that the case numbers are most certainly underreported as people have access to home test kits and are either asymptomatic or mildly ill and recovering at home. They are watching the hospitalization numbers as an indicator. All the numbers are rising, but slowly, as the new variant takes hold.

Booster doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine are now available for children ages 5-11. Everyone is urged to stay current with vaccines and boosters.
